Aug 15th, 2022I love the concept of a wild fermented wine. This one is from an 80 year old, ungrafted vineyard. Has bit of linseed oil and barnyard spunk in the nose, which I’m not used to finding in a white wine. Has a slightly oaky flavor, but not as much as what I don’t like about over-oaked chardonnays. Very yellow color. A little spritzy. Enjoyable. Very interesting. I far prefer this to most chardonnays.

Nov 1st, 201915.5/20 (87/100) Аромат спелых и засахаренных фруктов: яблоко, груша, лимон с тонами ментола и белого перца. Ощутимая кислотность. Приятное, но не сложное вино.

Aug 22nd, 2019A definite wild yeast funk leads the nose but then softens out to peach and citrus notes with lots of soft stone on the finish.
